How I made it…..

Step 1: The Sketch!!!!

I keep a light sketch all the time fully visible and mead erase when needed. I had to train myself to draw slower and focus on the form and placement of items in the picture.

Step 2:

I take time to think about light sources but I do not want to over power the image with shadows.

Step 3:

I make a choice not to ink the image and focus on clean pencils. Art Adams style! At this point, the only tool I’m using is a mechanical pencil (the best known to mankind).

Step 4:

I now work that left hand. While keeping some dynamic feel to the image. I feel from sketch to finalization, I lose much of the energy with is why I stopped light box so much of my work.
